A Love Store That's About To Get Messy.

The Housekeeper is the latest from one of France's best loved directors, Claude Berri (Jean De Florette). Set in Paris and the majestic beaches of Normandy, the film follows Jacques (The Taste of Others' Jean-Pierre Bacri) a forlorn bachelor living alone after his wife has left him. Deciding to get his life back in order, he hires a housekeeper, Laura (Rosetta's Emile Dequenne), to plow through the mess that's overtaken his apartment. He soon learns that she's never done a day of housework in her life. However, her presence adds a joyful spark to his life that's been missing too long in this bittersweet and sexy romantic comedy.
